Programme Note
One of Britain’s foremost choirs showcases Temple Church’s celestial acoustic with Fauré’s much-loved Requiem programmed alongside Jonathan Dove's The Passing of the Year, whose title alone feels hugely significant in current times. This intense and beautiful work sets seven texts, by poets including Tennyson, Dickinson and Blake, with moving directness and a beguiling sense of the seasons’ passing.
